This new “clicker” game genre – where clicking or in our case, tapping on the screen will give you options to build your city or town – is very much a growing trend, and our featured game here – CivCrafter – is one of the more well-developed clicker games. It’s all about building your empire, pretty simple when you have your city at the tip of your fingers. But this one is a very addictive proposition.
If you’ve experienced the genre before – think of games like Farmville and Restaurant City – you click through the icons and options and just wait for your assets to grow and level up. When they do, you kind of do the whole process all over again – which becomes pretty monotonous after a period of time. But gamers are calling CivCrafter the “mother of all clicker games” – not just building towards levels and bonuses, but actually something substantial.
CivCrafter will ask you, initially, to do the same things you do in any clicker game – gather resources, give jobs to villagers, so they can help you gather resources. Then you build structures, bring on more people to your growing town, researching new abilities – until finally, and you don’t even realize it – you’ve developed your own civilization. Then on the cycle goes, but with a twist – you can then build up your army and join a clan and then the raiding and attacking starts, quite like Clash of Clans.
The point of the game? Well, it seems to be just to waste copious amounts of your time – but you’ll play anyway, even if you don’t like clicker games. The game can be picked up via the Google Play Store for free (see source link below), with some IAPs to help you along the way. I’m off to try it. See you in about a month or so.

I want an EtsyCrafter game for the better half who admittedly couldn’t download and install a game if her life depended on it. Oh well, I just predicted that this proposed game will never happen.
